0:00:36 > 0:00:40Cantata 61. "Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland."

0:00:40 > 0:00:42That's easy for you to say.

0:00:42 > 0:00:43Tea?

0:00:43 > 0:00:44Oh, thank you.

0:00:48 > 0:00:52It's very nice, but we don't have to have Bach for breakfast.

0:00:52 > 0:00:54The channel you had on the other day was rather jolly.

0:00:54 > 0:00:561Xtra?

0:00:56 > 0:00:58Lots of pep and energy.

0:00:58 > 0:00:59If you're sure.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03UPBEAT POP MUSIC PLAYS

0:01:07 > 0:01:09Thank you.

0:01:10 > 0:01:14You must be dreading the kids coming back and spoiling your peace?

0:01:14 > 0:01:17No, not at all. It's a chance to get to know them better.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22Too much pep?

0:01:23 > 0:01:27Maybe. I like to ease myself into the bustle.

0:01:27 > 0:01:28SHE LAUGHS

0:01:31 > 0:01:35Can't be growing at this time of year?

0:01:35 > 0:01:36Winter pruning.

0:01:36 > 0:01:39Helps the plant keep its shape when it does start growing.

0:01:39 > 0:01:41Well, you know a lot more than me.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43I told you I wanted balls!

0:01:43 > 0:01:45What difference does it make?

0:01:45 > 0:01:48If I'd wanted icicle-shaped lights, I would have asked for them.

0:01:48 > 0:01:50Do, you seriously want me to take them back?

0:01:50 > 0:01:51Yes.

0:01:51 > 0:01:55You do realise that it might not be my main priority today?

0:01:56 > 0:01:58- Balls.- And icicles to you!

0:02:03 > 0:02:07Sorry. Just a slight communication problem.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09They happen.

0:02:09 > 0:02:12Oh, what are you doing? They bloomed lovely in the summer.

0:02:12 > 0:02:14We were instructed to clear the bed.

0:02:14 > 0:02:17Asked if they preferred perennials to annuals and,

0:02:17 > 0:02:19when they wondered what the difference was,

0:02:19 > 0:02:21told them about 300 quid a year.

0:02:21 > 0:02:23Well, I'm glad somebody's got a sense of humour.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25Helps the day go by.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27Yeah, I'll tell that to the other half.

0:02:27 > 0:02:29- Have a good one.- You, too.

0:02:38 > 0:02:41Already in need of coffee, Dr Clay?

0:02:41 > 0:02:44Yeah, with Sid off, I've seen seven patients today.

0:02:44 > 0:02:46It would have been difficult for him

0:02:46 > 0:02:48to conduct consultations with no voice.

0:02:48 > 0:02:51Oh, I don't know. Could have held up cards, pictures.

0:02:51 > 0:02:54Patients could have just picked the one their symptoms were closest to.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59You OK?

0:02:59 > 0:03:00Er, yes, I am fine.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03Thinking about tomorrow?

0:03:03 > 0:03:05The interview?

0:03:05 > 0:03:07Well, I am trying not to, but...

0:03:07 > 0:03:08But, you can't help it?

0:03:09 > 0:03:11I wish I could have done a little more preparation,

0:03:11 > 0:03:15but, what with Christmas coming fast and changing the rotas and

0:03:15 > 0:03:18so many consultations because of flu...

0:03:20 > 0:03:22You know, you can be over-prepared for an interview?

0:03:22 > 0:03:26Yes, well, I would have settled for being adequately prepared.

0:03:26 > 0:03:29Fortunately, I have some time, this evening.

0:03:29 > 0:03:34I will collect my thoughts and jot down anything that might...

0:03:34 > 0:03:36..that might come up.

0:03:36 > 0:03:40You know, if you're having doubts, then you shouldn't be.

0:03:40 > 0:03:42You've been fantastic standing in.

0:03:42 > 0:03:45That's why I said you should apply.

0:03:45 > 0:03:46Thank you.

0:03:46 > 0:03:49And your encouragement has been a deciding factor.

0:03:51 > 0:03:55But there are candidates who are very strong.

0:03:55 > 0:03:59They are more experienced and more qualified than I.

0:03:59 > 0:04:03You've got lots of experience, when it comes to this place.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05And I know lots of people with qualifications.

0:04:05 > 0:04:07They couldn't get a sponge wet in a bath.

0:04:07 > 0:04:08Just go in and be brilliant.

0:04:10 > 0:04:12You are very kind, Dr Clay.

0:04:12 > 0:04:14Hopefully talented, too.

0:04:14 > 0:04:19I've got a preview copy of the calendar arriving sometime today.

0:04:19 > 0:04:21You must be very excited?

0:04:21 > 0:04:23Yeah. I'm looking forward to it.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32Sexi.

0:04:32 > 0:04:33Sorry?

0:04:33 > 0:04:35In Spain.

0:04:35 > 0:04:41It's Almunecar today, but it's Latin name was Sexi Firmum Iulium.

0:04:41 > 0:04:43It's where we're excavating.

0:04:43 > 0:04:47Oh, right, so the tetanus boost was for cuts and grazes from trowels

0:04:47 > 0:04:49and bits of ancient weaponry?

0:04:49 > 0:04:50If there are any.

0:04:50 > 0:04:54Finds from the site have been mostly coins, from the Phoenicians.

0:04:54 > 0:04:58It's my second year fieldwork. We're flying on Boxing Day.

0:04:58 > 0:05:00And that explains why you're here after term?

0:05:00 > 0:05:04I'm also doing some waitressing, business conferences.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06You know, a bit of extra money.

0:05:06 > 0:05:08Let's hope they don't tip in Phoenician coinage, eh?

0:05:08 > 0:05:10- Hopefully not. - It's probably worth a fortune.

0:05:10 > 0:05:12Well, I wish.

0:05:14 > 0:05:15Thanks.

0:05:18 > 0:05:19Thanks.

0:05:21 > 0:05:22Ahem.

0:05:22 > 0:05:24Is that the calendar?

0:05:25 > 0:05:27Well, it's from the printers.

0:05:29 > 0:05:31Are you going to open it?

0:05:44 > 0:05:46Yeah, the cover's good.

0:05:46 > 0:05:48When are you going to show us the rest of it?

0:05:48 > 0:05:52Ah, well, I was just going to have a private glance, first.

0:05:52 > 0:05:54Photographer's privilege.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59I've never, ever had a good picture of me taken in my life.

0:06:04 > 0:06:08Oh, I wish I was heading off for some sun in Spain.

0:06:08 > 0:06:11It's not exactly bikini weather there, now.

0:06:11 > 0:06:15It'll be cargo trousers and a fleece for me.

0:06:15 > 0:06:18If you want December sunshine, it's got to be Australia.

0:06:18 > 0:06:19Going, next year.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22Wow. University must be doing really well

0:06:22 > 0:06:24out of those business conferences.

0:06:24 > 0:06:28No, it's a private visit. My boyfriend's in Sydney.

0:06:28 > 0:06:29I wish my husband was in Sydney.

0:06:31 > 0:06:34It's not exactly ideal, but...

0:06:34 > 0:06:35he's nice.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

0:06:38 > 0:06:41OK, Miss O'George, I fully expect you to come back having found

0:06:41 > 0:06:45at least one Phoenician astrolabe, or some proto-computer device.

0:06:45 > 0:06:46I will...

0:06:46 > 0:06:47try my best.

0:06:47 > 0:06:49THEY LAUGH

0:06:49 > 0:06:50Happy trails.

0:06:52 > 0:06:55Wow. Imagine maintaining a relationship over two hemispheres.

0:06:55 > 0:06:58Imagine just maintaining a relationship.

0:06:59 > 0:07:01If that's pertaining to me, Hollins,

0:07:01 > 0:07:03I believe it is I who is the injured party.

0:07:03 > 0:07:05I suppose so.

0:07:05 > 0:07:07Once more, with feeling.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10Mo should have told you about long-distance Lonny.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12Indeed, she should have. I was used.

0:07:32 > 0:07:35I hear that the calendar has arrived for Dr Clay?

0:07:35 > 0:07:37Yes, it did.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41It will be quite something, to see how it has turned out.

0:07:46 > 0:07:50I cannot help noticing that you are a little preoccupied.

0:07:50 > 0:07:53Am I?

0:07:53 > 0:07:57I know that your chemotherapy session starts tomorrow.

0:07:57 > 0:07:59I hope you are not too worried.

0:07:59 > 0:08:02No, no. I mean, there'll be lots of people there

0:08:02 > 0:08:05in the same position and we'll share a common bond.

0:08:05 > 0:08:07I expect we'll just be chatting away,

0:08:07 > 0:08:09helping each other through,

0:08:09 > 0:08:11linking hands, in adversity.

0:08:12 > 0:08:15It is perfectly normal to feel a little apprehensive.

0:08:17 > 0:08:23Perhaps you would like to join me for supper, again, this evening?

0:08:23 > 0:08:25No, but you've got your interview tomorrow.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27I have done ample preparation.

0:08:27 > 0:08:29One can be over-prepared, you know.

0:08:30 > 0:08:34And I think tonight that we could both do with a little company.

0:08:34 > 0:08:35How lovely.

0:08:35 > 0:08:37I mean, I'll look forward to that.

0:08:42 > 0:08:44Pruning the whole campus?

0:08:44 > 0:08:46Try to get a lot done, out of term.

0:08:47 > 0:08:52Yeah, university runs a whole lot better without the students.

0:08:52 > 0:08:54Actually, some of them work really hard, don't they?

0:08:54 > 0:08:56Yeah.

0:08:57 > 0:08:59Probably too hard, some of them.

0:09:01 > 0:09:02Don't overdo it yourself.

0:09:02 > 0:09:04Got a way to go yet.

0:09:04 > 0:09:05SHE LAUGHS

0:09:30 > 0:09:31Oh, what?

0:09:31 > 0:09:34You are absolutely joking me!

0:09:34 > 0:09:35Hey.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37How does it look?

0:09:37 > 0:09:40- Oh!- Yeah, like a bunch of naked farmers.

0:09:40 > 0:09:41No, thank you.

0:09:41 > 0:09:42- Ooh!- Oh!

0:09:45 > 0:09:47- So, we'll cover this next time if that's OK.- No, that's fine.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50- Of course. Yeah.- Thank you. See you soon. Cheers.

0:09:50 > 0:09:51I'm all good.

0:09:51 > 0:09:53Ah! Oh!

0:09:56 > 0:09:57Ooh, that looks nasty.

0:09:57 > 0:10:01It's OK. It's my fault. I shouldn't have left my gloves in my pocket.

0:10:01 > 0:10:02You should go to A & E.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04It doesn't warrant that. I don't want to take up...

0:10:04 > 0:10:06- How about the surgery? - I can just get a plaster.

0:10:06 > 0:10:09- I think you need it looked at. - No, really. Oh...

0:10:09 > 0:10:12- Do you feel faint? - I'm just not very good with blood.

0:10:12 > 0:10:14Come on, I'm walking you over.

0:10:14 > 0:10:17- You can't.- I can.

0:10:17 > 0:10:19- Here. - I'll make a real mess of that.

0:10:19 > 0:10:20It's just a handkerchief.

0:10:25 > 0:10:27It's absolutely terrible.

0:10:27 > 0:10:30You're telling me. Eight pages of naked agriculturalists!

0:10:30 > 0:10:32No, I mean my picture.

0:10:32 > 0:10:33I look like I'm asleep.

0:10:33 > 0:10:35- I'm not sure about that lighting, Jimmi.- What?

0:10:35 > 0:10:38I spent ages on that lighting. It's supposed to be flattering.

0:10:38 > 0:10:40Do I need loads of flattering lightening, is that it?

0:10:40 > 0:10:42It's not what I said, was it?

0:10:43 > 0:10:46Ooh, now that doesn't look like Heston.

0:10:46 > 0:10:49Well, it's not Heston. It's a farmer who's very proud of his taters.

0:10:49 > 0:10:52The publishers have obviously mixed up the photos.

0:10:52 > 0:10:54Well, that is a strategically placed turnip.

0:10:54 > 0:10:57- Oh, now, is this the..? - No, no, it's not our...

0:10:57 > 0:11:01Some of it. No. Do you know what? I'm just going to phone them.

0:11:01 > 0:11:02Mr November.

0:11:04 > 0:11:07That is a substantial piece of equipment.

0:11:10 > 0:11:13My husband, Rob, was scraping wallpaper a while back

0:11:13 > 0:11:18and got distracted by Crimewatch. I think some robber he recognised

0:11:18 > 0:11:22and the scraper slipped, and it nearly took his little finger off.

0:11:22 > 0:11:24Thank you, Karen for that charming

0:11:24 > 0:11:26and medically appropriate recollection.

0:11:26 > 0:11:28Fortunately, this didn't need stitching.

0:11:28 > 0:11:30But, it was good to get it looked at.

0:11:30 > 0:11:34So, are you going home or are you going back to work?

0:11:34 > 0:11:36Oh, no. There's still quite a lot to do.

0:11:36 > 0:11:38And, like Dr Haskey says, it's just a little nick.

0:11:38 > 0:11:41Yeah, and your tetanus is up-to-date, so well done.

0:11:41 > 0:11:42Always wise.

0:11:42 > 0:11:44MOBILE PHONE RINGS

0:11:44 > 0:11:45Boyfriend.

0:11:45 > 0:11:47Hey, you, what time is it there?

0:11:48 > 0:11:50Missed me?

0:11:50 > 0:11:53That's a coincidence, because I was just thinking about you.

0:11:53 > 0:11:55Do you not think that you should just go back home

0:11:55 > 0:11:57and just maybe rest the hand?

0:11:57 > 0:11:59It's not life-threatening.

0:11:59 > 0:12:01Yeah, but he's got to take care of himself.

0:12:01 > 0:12:03There's no need to worry about me.

0:12:03 > 0:12:06I'll call you back at a sensible time.

0:12:08 > 0:12:10Got another shift today?

0:12:10 > 0:12:13Oh, tonight. Dinner for conference guests.

0:12:13 > 0:12:15So, it'll be nap time for me, meanwhile.

0:12:16 > 0:12:19I'll be getting along, too. Thank you, Doctor.

0:12:19 > 0:12:21Prune the trees, not you hand.

0:12:21 > 0:12:23I'll try.

0:12:23 > 0:12:25PHONE TEXT ALERT RINGS

0:12:25 > 0:12:26Oh, wow.

0:12:26 > 0:12:28Text from Donaghue.

0:12:28 > 0:12:30Apparently, they've mixed up Jimmi's photos

0:12:30 > 0:12:33with those of a load of nude farmers.

0:12:33 > 0:12:35So, like doctors and nurses dressed up as icons,

0:12:35 > 0:12:37except they're farmers

0:12:37 > 0:12:38and they're nude!

0:12:49 > 0:12:50What you doing?

0:12:50 > 0:12:52Erm, I'm trying to put up a Christmas tree.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54A real one?

0:12:54 > 0:12:56Yes.

0:12:56 > 0:12:57Is that so unusual?

0:12:57 > 0:13:01Well, we never had one. Mum said they drop needles all over the place.

0:13:01 > 0:13:05Ah, well, you need a Nordmann fir. They're drop-free.

0:13:05 > 0:13:07If only I could get it in.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09How about a saw or something?

0:13:09 > 0:13:11Good idea.

0:13:12 > 0:13:15Do you think you could help. Are you busy?

0:13:15 > 0:13:16Not really.

0:13:16 > 0:13:20OK. Just hang onto that and I'll get a saw.

0:13:28 > 0:13:31Erm...

0:13:31 > 0:13:34Al, I'm just going to pop out for a bit.

0:13:34 > 0:13:36Would you mind keeping an eye on the desk?

0:13:38 > 0:13:40Yes, if you insist on slacking.

0:14:18 > 0:14:24Hi, Al. Could you do me a favour?

0:14:24 > 0:14:26Yeah, this is serious.

0:14:26 > 0:14:31Renata O'George. Could you get me her room number, please, from patient records?

0:14:36 > 0:14:38Hey, look, real Christmas tree!

0:14:38 > 0:14:40Alia, would you like to help us with the ornaments?

0:14:40 > 0:14:43- I, er... - He's got millions.

0:14:43 > 0:14:44We don't have to use all of them,

0:14:44 > 0:14:46but we must have a bell.

0:14:46 > 0:14:47Why?

0:14:47 > 0:14:48It's A Wonderful Life.

0:14:48 > 0:14:50It's a what?

0:14:50 > 0:14:54It's A Wonderful Life. The greatest Christmas film ever made.

0:14:54 > 0:14:56Clarence the angel tells James Stewart

0:14:56 > 0:15:00that every time a bell rings, an angel gets its wings.

0:15:00 > 0:15:01Who's James Stewart?

0:15:03 > 0:15:05I'll show you the DVD. Anyway, we'd better get on.

0:15:05 > 0:15:08Your mum's going to be back soon and we haven't started supper.

0:15:08 > 0:15:10- She said we were having pasta. - Yeah, we're making it.

0:15:10 > 0:15:12What, the sauce?

0:15:12 > 0:15:16The pasta, man. Heston's got this mad machine.

0:15:16 > 0:15:18- Don't you just buy it? - No, it's always better freshly made.

0:15:18 > 0:15:21Durum wheat, eggs, water, salt.

0:15:21 > 0:15:24Simple ingredients, but the very essence of La Dolce Vita!

0:15:24 > 0:15:26Excuse me.

0:15:29 > 0:15:31Iain?

0:15:32 > 0:15:35- Um...what are you doing? - I'm just seeing Sarah.

0:15:35 > 0:15:36I told you, I'm not...

0:15:38 > 0:15:41Um...Iain, I think there's been a mistake. This is...

0:15:41 > 0:15:46Sarah. Her name is Sarah. She's my daughter.

0:15:46 > 0:15:47She's just pretending not to be.

0:15:47 > 0:15:50It's a game we had when she was little.

0:15:50 > 0:15:52She'd pretend not to know her name.

0:15:53 > 0:15:55OK, Iain. Um... Well...

0:15:55 > 0:15:57We... Er...

0:15:57 > 0:16:01We can play the game. We...we can ask her.

0:16:01 > 0:16:05Iain, my name is Renata.

0:16:05 > 0:16:09- I'm not... - You are Sarah. This is your room.

0:16:09 > 0:16:13It was Sarah's room. She lived here.

0:16:13 > 0:16:15But that was before last Christmas.

0:16:16 > 0:16:20There's a room ballot at the end of every year and I got this room.

0:16:20 > 0:16:23- But I didn't want this one because...- You loved this room!

0:16:23 > 0:16:25The gardens, the...the views.

0:16:25 > 0:16:28I'm sure Sarah did, but...

0:16:28 > 0:16:29You haven't opened your present.

0:16:29 > 0:16:32I kept it for you from last year. Go on.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37Go on. It won't bite.

0:16:49 > 0:16:51- It's very pretty. - It's your favourite colour.

0:16:53 > 0:16:55Iain, I'm not Sarah.

0:16:55 > 0:16:57Huh!

0:16:57 > 0:17:00I'm not Sarah because Sarah's dead.

0:17:02 > 0:17:04HE CHUCKLES

0:17:04 > 0:17:06You're here.

0:17:06 > 0:17:10- Iain?- Don't you say she's dead!

0:17:10 > 0:17:14She's here. Look! She's here.

0:17:17 > 0:17:20What do you mean, you can't tell the difference?

0:17:20 > 0:17:23I mean, it's full of naked guys in wellingtons with tractors.

0:17:24 > 0:17:28Do you honestly think I shot those pictures for our calendar?

0:17:28 > 0:17:31Of course I want a reprint! And this time, I want you to check it!

0:17:33 > 0:17:35I can't imagine they're too happy either.

0:17:35 > 0:17:37There's probably people waiting excitedly

0:17:37 > 0:17:39for pictures of naked men wearing bobble hats!

0:17:39 > 0:17:41Ooh! This might not be a good time.

0:17:41 > 0:17:43What for, to book me for a photoshoot

0:17:43 > 0:17:46for the centrespread of Farmers Weekly?

0:17:46 > 0:17:48Um...no.

0:17:48 > 0:17:51I was wondering if I could see the proofs.

0:17:53 > 0:17:54Proofs?

0:17:54 > 0:17:57Yeah. You know, the contact sheet thingy with all the...

0:17:57 > 0:18:00The camera's digital.

0:18:00 > 0:18:03- Oh.- Maybe Rankin with his large-format camera

0:18:03 > 0:18:07had a contact sheet thingy, but this is all on a card.

0:18:07 > 0:18:09- It's a good point.- Mm-hm.

0:18:09 > 0:18:13Um...well, have you printed any more out, of me?

0:18:14 > 0:18:17- Why? - It's just the one in the calendar.

0:18:17 > 0:18:20I was just wondering if there just might be a better one.

0:18:20 > 0:18:24- I went through them. That was the best.- You sure?- Absolutely sure!

0:18:24 > 0:18:26OK. Thanks.

0:18:33 > 0:18:35It was an accident.

0:18:37 > 0:18:39At a party at the end of term last Christmas.

0:18:41 > 0:18:44She came back here, she passed out

0:18:44 > 0:18:46- and she was sick. And nobody...- No!

0:18:48 > 0:18:49Please don't say that!

0:18:51 > 0:18:53You're too beautiful, you're...you're too...

0:18:53 > 0:18:55MOBILE PHONE RINGS

0:18:57 > 0:18:59Can I answer that, Iain?

0:19:04 > 0:19:06Dr Haskey.

0:19:06 > 0:19:11Dr Haskey, a message for, er...my husband.

0:19:13 > 0:19:15He's to go to that address that you found.

0:19:15 > 0:19:18Er...it's a work thing. His work.

0:19:19 > 0:19:21Do you understand?

0:19:24 > 0:19:28That was Dr Haskey. You, er...you met him earlier.

0:19:28 > 0:19:31He's a colleague. He...he treated your hand.

0:19:33 > 0:19:37When I came here last year, they wouldn't let me take you home.

0:19:38 > 0:19:41We spent every Christmas together, right from when you were born.

0:19:43 > 0:19:44Except the last one.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47So, you want Sarah...

0:19:48 > 0:19:51Want me to come home for Christmas?

0:19:51 > 0:19:52Yes!

0:19:54 > 0:19:56I want you to wake up and find your stocking

0:19:56 > 0:19:59and then come downstairs and open the rest of your presents.

0:19:59 > 0:20:02I've kept them for you. All of them.

0:20:02 > 0:20:04And the decorations.

0:20:04 > 0:20:06I haven't taken them down.

0:20:06 > 0:20:08It's all there waiting for you.

0:20:12 > 0:20:14They won't stop me taking you home this time.

0:20:22 > 0:20:25I know the photos got mixed up, but I do think the ones of us

0:20:25 > 0:20:27could have been a bit more sympathetic.

0:20:27 > 0:20:31Well, Dr Clay is not a... Well, a professional photographer.

0:20:31 > 0:20:34Because a professional wouldn't put people in poses like that.

0:20:34 > 0:20:36Or make a hash of the lighting.

0:20:36 > 0:20:39Right.

0:20:42 > 0:20:44What are those?

0:20:44 > 0:20:46Er...those are the proofs.

0:20:46 > 0:20:49Or, at least, they're copies of all the other pictures.

0:20:49 > 0:20:51I apologise in advance for my poxy lighting,

0:20:51 > 0:20:52my framing and my composition.

0:20:52 > 0:20:55I don't apologise for the pictures getting mixed up with naked Wurzels.

0:20:55 > 0:20:57That was nothing to do with me, that was not my fault.

0:20:57 > 0:20:59But since everything else seems to be my fault

0:20:59 > 0:21:02and since you all have a better idea of how you'd like to look,

0:21:02 > 0:21:04then there you go, you can choose!

0:21:08 > 0:21:09Let's have a look.

0:21:11 > 0:21:13- Oh! That's worse!- Yeah, they are.

0:21:16 > 0:21:17Oh!

0:21:17 > 0:21:19What is going on?

0:21:22 > 0:21:25You bought it in the market. You were five.

0:21:25 > 0:21:27With your own money. Huh!

0:21:27 > 0:21:29It always had to go on the tree.

0:21:29 > 0:21:33- Near the top?- Yes, always!

0:21:33 > 0:21:36And the little carriage. The one with the broken axle.

0:21:36 > 0:21:37And the silver apple.

0:21:37 > 0:21:40The apple? Yes, the silver apple.

0:21:40 > 0:21:43We'll put them all on the tree. We'll do it together.

0:21:43 > 0:21:46- Are you OK?- Yeah. - Right.- What's wrong?

0:21:46 > 0:21:49- What, is she...? - Iain, this is Rob, my husband.

0:21:49 > 0:21:51And, Rob, this is Iain.

0:21:51 > 0:21:53Hi, Iain. We're here to help.

0:21:53 > 0:21:56This was...this was Iain's daughter's room.

0:21:56 > 0:21:57It IS her room.

0:21:57 > 0:22:00And there's been some confusion about Sarah

0:22:00 > 0:22:02and a girl called Renata.

0:22:03 > 0:22:05We're good, we're all fine.

0:22:05 > 0:22:07OK. Well, that's fine. OK, that's all good.

0:22:07 > 0:22:10- You're going to need to come with us, Iain.- Why?

0:22:10 > 0:22:12To clear up some misunderstandings.

0:22:12 > 0:22:15- What misunderstandings? I don't understand...!- It's OK.

0:22:16 > 0:22:19- I'll come with you to the car.- Ah.

0:22:19 > 0:22:21Is that OK, Iain?

0:22:25 > 0:22:26Hang on.

0:22:28 > 0:22:30Huh.

0:22:42 > 0:22:44All right. OK, OK.

0:22:45 > 0:22:47I changed those lights.

0:22:47 > 0:22:49KAREN CHUCKLES AND SOBS

0:22:51 > 0:22:53That was lovely, Mrs Tembe.

0:22:53 > 0:22:56Although I would've preferred a glass of wine, or three.

0:22:56 > 0:22:59Alcohol dehydrates you. I read about it.

0:22:59 > 0:23:02It does not work well with the chemotherapy.

0:23:02 > 0:23:03All the good stuff.

0:23:03 > 0:23:05That's why I'm not looking forward to Christmas.

0:23:05 > 0:23:08You shouldn't have your favourite things when you have chemotherapy.

0:23:08 > 0:23:10It can put you off for life.

0:23:10 > 0:23:12- Ah, well, the chemotherapy will not last for long.- Mm.

0:23:12 > 0:23:16A few more weeks and then it will be margarita and lobster all the way.

0:23:16 > 0:23:20Not that I really like lobster. Not after the one I had in Marbella.

0:23:22 > 0:23:23Or was that spider crab?

0:23:23 > 0:23:25Anyway, you know what I'd really like to do?

0:23:25 > 0:23:27I would like to learn to snorkel.

0:23:27 > 0:23:31Well, er...maybe you should be a little less... Well, ambitious.

0:23:31 > 0:23:35- You are going to be very tired after your course of treatment.- Yeah.

0:23:36 > 0:23:38Scale back. Yep. Message received.

0:23:38 > 0:23:43Well, scaling back does not mean...

0:23:44 > 0:23:47..we should not enjoy the finer things in life.

0:23:49 > 0:23:52I thought we could do with a little pampering.

0:23:53 > 0:23:56Oh, that...that's a really nice surprise.

0:23:56 > 0:23:59There are lots of different colours.

0:23:59 > 0:24:02And the glittery one.

0:24:07 > 0:24:10I think readymade pasta might have been cleaner.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12- Not as much fun, though. - This is great!

0:24:12 > 0:24:15Anything done con brio will always be better.

0:24:15 > 0:24:18- How was school?- History was good.

0:24:18 > 0:24:20Oh, I was a big fan of the Hanoverians at school.

0:24:20 > 0:24:23- We're doing the Cold War. - Oh, I lived through that.

0:24:23 > 0:24:25Got 90% for my assessment.

0:24:25 > 0:24:2790? You slipping?

0:24:27 > 0:24:29Alia likes facts.

0:24:29 > 0:24:33- We could play a general knowledge game after supper.- That sounds good.

0:24:38 > 0:24:41Do you know, I wouldn't normally choose such a dark shade.

0:24:41 > 0:24:43Actually, it's another thing I have read.

0:24:43 > 0:24:46The nails can become a little discoloured

0:24:46 > 0:24:49with the chemotherapy. A darker colour will conceal it.

0:24:49 > 0:24:51You've read a lot about it.

0:24:51 > 0:24:54Well, I am an irreducible researcher.

0:24:54 > 0:24:56That's very touching.

0:24:56 > 0:25:00- Even if I don't know what irreducible means.- Hm!

0:25:00 > 0:25:03I'm a bit worried about my hair, though.

0:25:03 > 0:25:06It's always been a bit troublesome because it's quite thick,

0:25:06 > 0:25:07but after chemotherapy...

0:25:07 > 0:25:11Well, it is not a given that your hair will fall out.

0:25:12 > 0:25:14But we both know that it is likely.

0:25:15 > 0:25:20- And if it happens and you need an expert in wigs...- Hm.

0:25:22 > 0:25:24Lots of changes coming.

0:25:24 > 0:25:30Yes. And you will ride those changes and be stronger for it.

0:25:34 > 0:25:37"Cry God for England, Harry and St George!"

0:25:40 > 0:25:43- Henry V?- Brilliant! Alia wins!

0:25:43 > 0:25:46Alia, it seems you shine at English Literature.

0:25:46 > 0:25:48School says I should focus on English Language

0:25:48 > 0:25:50if I want to take it forward for an A Level.

0:25:50 > 0:25:52A-huh. What other subjects are you thinking of taking?

0:25:52 > 0:25:55Maths and a science. They say that's a good combination

0:25:55 > 0:25:56if I want to get into medical school.

0:25:56 > 0:25:58You want to be a doctor?

0:25:58 > 0:26:00I was going to ask Heston about it.

0:26:00 > 0:26:03My pleasure, but I'd take two science subjects

0:26:03 > 0:26:04if you want to get into medical school.

0:26:04 > 0:26:08I really like Biology, but do you think Physics might be better if...?

0:26:08 > 0:26:11I think you should pick Heston's brain in the morning.

0:26:11 > 0:26:14- Thank you. Goodnight. - Night.- Night.

0:26:14 > 0:26:15Goodnight.

0:26:18 > 0:26:20Thank you.

0:26:20 > 0:26:22For what?

0:26:22 > 0:26:23A nice family evening.

0:26:23 > 0:26:26- Was it?- Yeah.

0:26:29 > 0:26:31Bye.

0:26:31 > 0:26:32DOOR CLOSES

0:26:43 > 0:26:44SHE SIGHS

0:26:59 > 0:27:02SHE SIGHS

0:27:06 > 0:27:08I am so sorry that I cannot be with you today.

0:27:08 > 0:27:11Well, there'll be plenty of opportunities.

0:27:11 > 0:27:13I'm not letting you sacrifice anything else.

0:27:13 > 0:27:14The offer's there if you need it.

0:27:14 > 0:27:16Joe!

0:27:16 > 0:27:18Dr Donoghue, I can't wake him!

0:27:19 > 0:27:21KNOCK AT DOOR

0:27:21 > 0:27:24Mrs Winifred Tembe.

0:27:24 > 0:27:25Come in and sit down.

0:27:25 > 0:27:27Thank you for coming, Mrs Tembe.
